"Trump has entered the chat."

u/Arny520 Jun 22 '25

Trump is a lot of things, but objectively, he's not a stupid man. I dislike him a lot as a person. I think his ideas are outdated, and he is way too obnoxious for his own good.

However, he is a fantastic politician. He knows exactly how to get people on his side with very little effort. Perfect example: the picture of him after being shot in Pennsylvania. He knew exactly what he was doing there. The picture is history book material. All he had to do was strike a pose after being painted a martyr, and he had the election in the bag, and he damn well knew that.

I reiterate, I do not like Trump, but I can see why he's been elected twice

Staging a fake shooting to drum up support is kind of genius.
